I changed my username and now afp doesn't show any users. I have file sharing on. And also when I select "get more info" on the shared folders they don't have my username in there. it just has "applepc(me)" my old username before changing it showed the correct username? please any help would be great.

Turn Time Machine OFF temporarily in its preference pane. Leave the window open.
Navigate in the Finder to your backup disk, and then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume. If you back up over a network, you'll first have to mount the disk image file containing your backups by double-clicking it. Descend into the folder until you see the snapshots, which are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot. Find the one you want to restore from. There's a link named "Latest" representing the most recent snapshot. Use that one, if possible. Otherwise, you'll have to remember the date of the snapshot you choose.
Inside the snapshot folder is a folder hierarchy like the one on the source disk. Find one of the items you can't restore and select it. Open the Info dialog for the selected item. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you may see an entry in the access list that shows "Fetching…" in the Name column. If so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate. Then delete the "Fetching…" item from the icon list. Click the gear icon below the list and select Apply to enclosed items from the popup menu.
Now you should be able either to copy the item in the Finder or to restore it in the time-travel view. If you use the time-travel view, be sure to select the snapshot you just modified. If successful, repeat the operation with the other items you were unable to restore. You can select multiple items in the Finder and open a single Info dialog for all of them by pressing the key combination option-command-I.
When you're done, turn TM back ON and close its preference pane.

First, don't unsubscribe. This only tells the spammer that your email address is valid and they will send even more.
If this is only being sent from a few specific email addresses, you can set up a rules on icloud.com similar to the image below to send them to the trash. This describes how to set up a rule: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a3f8a.

I installed CS6 and now Lightroom doesn't show CS5 as an Edit option

I installed CS6 and now Lightroom doesn't show CS5 as an Edit option. CS5 is still installed on my computer. How can I add it to Lightroom Edit options?
Mac 10.6.8

You can add CS5 as an "Additional External Editor" on the External Editing Tab of the Preferences panel. See this screenshot, I have Photoshop CS5 as my prime editor, and have added CS3 as an additional external editor:
Then when you use "Edit In...." you'll see both options available..

Just cahnge the e-mail account asssociated with the account. There was no need to start another account.
You cannot delete and account, nor would you want to. All purchases made with an account will always be tied to that account.

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

I have a mess with itunes. Can't buy music online anymore as it tells me they don't have it avail. in US or I'm not authorized! Help!

I used to purchase music from itunes, no problem. Then I downloaded an "upgraded version of itunes" and it's been a mess since. I can't buy
anything from my computer as it tells me the song isn't available in the US or that I can't get into the itunes store. I bought music on my iphone from
itunes and then transferred them to my music library on computer. I forgot how I did it and now newly purchased songs languish on my iphone (I don't listen to music on that). I'd like to get back to purchasing music from my computer, so much easier, but I can't get a program from itunes that will let me do that. For now though I'd like to transfer music from iphone to computer...what do I use and where do I plug it in on my tower? Please give me step by step. Thanks!

HT5312 Hi, I've forgotten my username and security questions and now locked my account. Tried contacting apple support but it wont accept my telephone number. I can't chat with Apple as I don't have a contact. Is there a support contact number please? T

Just trying to back up my data. I have now closed my email account of my original email so cant receive email or remember security questions. Tried setting up another account but it doesnt allow access to iCloud. Now managed to lock my account for 8 hours. Unable to Chat with Apple as I dont have a contract. Tried submitting a telephone request - it just tells me to add a valid number (which I did offer up home and mobile) neither of which were accepted. So completely stuck after starting this 5 hours ago. Does anybody know if Apple has a telephone support contact number please that I can ring and actually speak to somebody? Thanks!

You'd selected the correct country for you and your iTunes account ? The form has validation to check that the phone number is valid for the country that you select.
If your country appear on this page then try the link/number for it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

HT1657 I rented a movie on iTunes but I didn't have enough space on my phone. So I backed up my phone erased my pictures and tried again and now it doesn't show I rented the movie that I paid for.

When I realized I didn't have space I backed up my phone and erased all the pictures on it to make room. When I went in to try to download the rental it wasn't there anymore.

Hello Chasa11,
It sounds like you paid for a rental but there was not enough space to download it, and after clearing some space you are unable to download it. If it is not appearing in the Rentals Tab of the Videos app I would check to see if you can resume the download in the iTunes Store app:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

I have a touch 3.1.3 My computer hard drive failed and is not recoverable. How do I get the songs and pictures on the IPOD back on to the new computer. Right now, Itunes doesn't show any music or pictures or books.

I bought a new computer but I don't know how to make what is on the ipod go back into my new computer so I don't loose them all.

HT1364 I followed this tutorial and iTunes moved my music to the specified directory on another drive, but now it doesn't show up in library. Files are all there.

I'm using Vista 32 bit and itunes 9. Don't want to upgrade to latest version.
I made the transfer with the help of itunes, but now the music while in the new directory itunes doesn't recognise it.
Any guesses?
Thanks

Solved my own problem.
Actually, I just selected all and dragged into Itunes. Didn't work at first, butsince then has worked great. I have transferred approx 58Gb. of music. I also searched through 5 other HDD's and have just put all of my music on all itunes.
I then purchased the software "tuneup media". It is currently de-dupe'ing and fixing all the mis-labeled songs.
This is the problem with newsgroups. People name stuff whatever they want. Hope this helped you.

I used YesScript to stop scripts on a certain website and now Disqus doesn't show up on that website. What do I do?

Every time I go to any Breitbart.com website, my computer slows down so much, I can barely scroll or type a post in Disqus. At least twice I've gotten the "scripts" error message. So I did some research on how to fix the "scripts" problem and I used the YesScript solution. Now when I go to Breitbart.com, the pages run fine, but I can't get the Disqus comment section; it's just gone. So I assume that Disqus on Breitbart was causing the "scripts" problem, but by blocking the scripts, I've blocked the whole purpose of going to the website.
